How to choose a Finance Partner

Picture
Unlike most suppliers, your finance partner 
​is in direct contact with you customers.

We suggest you 'interview' candidates to make sure
they're good representatives of your business.


Following are questions to help that discussion:


Does your company fund $37,000 Wizbangs?

How long have you been funding equipment?
We think 3+ years should do it, but newcomers might deserve a chance.

How many lenders do you represent?
We think 5-9 is a good range to help place 95% of deals based on credit-worthiness
– many say “30+ different lenders”, but if that’s true they probably don’t know any of them very well - or they're just trying to impress you.


What is your average transaction size?
Not critical either – $5k to $2MM for EFN, with most $20k to $250k.

What is your role in the company?
EFN is a small company (with a great network of lenders, since 2003)
You'll work directly with a principal - and that brings several advantages:

Your EFN contact;
- Manages every step, from Application through Funding
- Speaks directly to your customer - and the key staff of our lenders (we learn a LOT this way)
 (in larger companies, reps manages little/none of the process, and can't do much to help it)

- Genuinely cares about the success of our Vendors (rather than making quota, we're here for the long-term)
